This probably has to do with the majority of cheap web hosts out there offering only PHP, Perl, and (if you're really lucky) Rails.

It's honestly one of the main reasons I got so late into the "my own web project" game. PHP and Perl to me are a ghetto. I refuse to touch them, learn them, look at them, know about them. And combine that with MySQL which is still worse IMO than Postgresql and "open source" web programming with the LAMP stack was just.................ugly.

I sound like a bad person. I can't help it.
